The Original Vampire

Night falls.

Vera, who had just finished bathing, changed into a silk nightgown, her delicate and snow-white feet lightly tapped on the pine floor, and her slender body sat leaning in front of the dressing table, facing a bronze mirror, twisting her hair in a bun.

A pretty face was reflected in the mirror, hazy like a rose just moistened by rain and dew.

The room was filled with a faint fragrance, fresh and timeless, lingering.

Colin was half lying on the sofa, quietly admiring the demeanor of Vera's little wife, and suddenly asked with a smile:

"What's with the golden mark on your chest?"

Vera tilted her head, and also looked puzzled: "I don't know, it seems to have just appeared today, maybe it has something to do with the baptism ceremony."

Colin gradually restrained his smile, frowned and said, "Baptism?"

"Well, but I don't feel anything unusual about my body." Vera didn't care.

Seeing that Colin was worried about herself, Vera came over on tiptoe, threw herself lightly on the sofa, and got into her lover's arms.

"Then let me take a closer look." Colin wrapped his arms around Vera's slender waist and reached out to untie her nightgown.

Vera giggled without stopping.

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Colin had to stop what he was doing and asked angrily, "What's the matter?"

The voice of the maid came from outside the door: "Lord Viscount, Her Royal Highness the Queen invites you to give a lecture to Prince Harrison and Princess Judy."

Colin was speechless for a while, what class is he talking about now!

Vera gently kissed Colin's cheek, and said with a smile, "Come on, don't make aunt wait for a long time."

Ke Lin was helpless, so he got up and said, "Okay, if I come back late, you can go to bed first."

Vera nodded and started to help Colin change clothes.

After packing up, Ke Lin went out and followed the maid all the way to the main hall.

further forward,

Colin found that the guards here are more strict.

After about a quarter of an hour, the maid finally stopped, stretched out her hand and gently pushed open the ornate golden silk wooden door, and the maid bowed to Colin.

Colin nodded and walked in.

In the eye, there is a dark red round table, a snow-white cashmere carpet, and an exquisite crystal chandelier, but there is no one.

"Your Highness the Queen?"

Colin called out tentatively, and then heard a soft voice: "Viscount Angele, please go in."

Colin took a few steps forward, turned a corner, and found the door leading to the inner room.

Lifting the veil hanging on the door, Colin walked inside.

With pink curtains, a luxurious ivory bed, and a delicate dresser, Colin immediately realized that this should be the queen's bedroom.

The soft night wind blew in, and the curtain on the balcony moved with the wind, revealing a looming slender figure.

Colin hurriedly saluted: "Your Highness the Queen!"

Queen Midella turned around, smiled at Ke Lin Yanran, and said, "I'm looking for you so late, I hope you don't mind."

"Of course not. I wonder where Prince Harrison and Princess Judy are now, and where would you like me to teach them?"

"It's not urgent, I have more important things to talk to you about."

"Please tell me." Colin suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart, but since he had been fooled, he couldn't turn around and run away.

"Don't be nervous, sit down."

Colin looked around and found that there were only places where he could sit in front of the bed and the dresser... But he obviously wouldn't sit in either of these places, so he had to stand awkwardly where he was, pretending not to hear.

Fortunately, Queen Midella didn't mean to be too hard on Colin. Seeing this, she didn't force her to ask, "What do you think of the baptism ceremony this morning?"

With a move in Colin's heart, he immediately thought of the staring gaze that seemed to fall from the sky, and the appearance of Baron Heidegger, the Prime Minister of the Empire at the time, who hesitated to speak.

"I think it's very good." Colin pretended to be stupid. "It's a great honor to have the Pope baptize Vera in person!"

Queen Midella looked at Colin with a half-smile, as if she wanted to see his true thoughts.

But Colin lowered his head, unmoved by the Queen's scrutinizing gaze.

"Hey~" Queen Midella sighed, with a hint of resentment in her voice, "It seems that you still don't trust me."

"Of course I trust Your Highness." Colin immediately replied, but there was not much sincerity between his words.

The room fell silent, except for the slight sound of the night wind blowing the curtain.

After waiting for a long time without hearing the Queen's voice, Ke Lin couldn't help raising his head, and then he met the other person's calm eyes.

The evening wind blew the light dress tightly against her body, drawing a graceful curve.

Colin immediately retracted his gaze and returned to the original state of observing the nose and the nose.

Queen Midella finally spoke again, but this time, her voice became a little dignified: "Colin, you may not realize the seriousness of the matter."

"His Royal Highness, please forgive my ignorance!" Ke Lin still looked like that, as if he was determined to keep a distance from this glamorous queen.

Empress Midella's face did not show any joy or anger, but she left the balcony and slowly walked towards Colin, saying, "Remember that the first time we met, it was in Winter City. We were going to participate in the Wei Dynasty. Pulling the bar."

"Yes, Your Highness." Ke Lin became more and more confused about what the queen wanted to do.

"I remember that the coming-of-age ceremony was really exciting! The troll prince, the half-elf prince, and you, the three of them proposed to Vera at the same time, but my brother chose the half-elf prince in the end, and the two of you almost fought because of this... …”

Listening to Queen Midella recalling the past, Ke Lin remained silent, but kept guessing about the Queen's true purpose.

"...Oh, by the way, there was a big event at that time--" Queen Midella had already walked up to Colin, exhaling as she said, "Marquis Adams, was poisoned to death!"

Colin lowered his head and looked at the pink toenails on the queen's slender feet, which were as white as jade, shining with crystal-like light, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Queen Midella held up Colin's chin behind her, forcibly turned his gaze to herself, and asked with a smile, "Do you know who poisoned it?"

Colin's heart finally burst into waves, and thoughts kept popping up in his mind, but he couldn't grasp the most crucial one.

This puzzle haunted him for a long time.

The first object of his suspicion at that time was actually Marquis Garcia.

Because the Duke of St. Hilde had just betrayed his younger brother at that time, and did not keep his promise to let Vera inherit the position of the Marquis of the East, but chose his second son Adams.

Colin's first reaction was probably the first reaction of most people at the time. The death of Adams was due to Marquis Garcia taking revenge on his brother!

But later, Colin felt that with the character of Marquis Garcia, he should not be able to do such a sinister thing.

When he was in Silvermoon City, when he guessed that the Duke of St. Hilde was planning a series of plans against the half-elves, Colin felt that the Duke of St. Hilde might have staged a bitter trick and poisoned his second son.

But when Colin learned that the Duke of St. Hilde was a Paladin, he immediately overturned his speculation.

After all, the Duke of Saint Hilde, who possesses the strength of a paladin, is not going to resort to such means to achieve his goals.

Colin had already given up, thinking that the death of Marquis Adams would forever remain an unsolved case, but now, Queen Midella has brought it up again.

This made Colin couldn't help but have a thought...

Queen Midella looked at Colin whose expression changed, and finally showed a satisfied smile, but she seemed to be more than satisfied with this, and said again:

"And the will left by Duke St. Hilde. Guess why he made Vera the first heir?"

Colin opened his mouth, but didn't know how to speak.

The smile on Queen Midella's face grew brighter and she threw a bombshell again: "You know, Your Majesty tried to veto Vera's inheritance twice, but I stopped them all.

Do you know why? "

Colin looked at this charming and pretty face so close at hand, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

Thousands of thoughts finally converged into an answer in his mind, but this answer made Colin couldn't help but want to run away.

Queen Midella admired the entangled Colin, and said with a smile: "Colin, you know, the person in this world who most hopes to see Vera become the Duke of the North, besides you, is me."

At this time, Colin calmed down instead.

He knew that Queen Midella had already had a showdown.

This can only show that the situation is indeed as severe as she said.

She no longer allowed Colin to look alike with her. She said she trusted on the surface, but turned around and began to be suspicious.

"Your Highness, I understand." Ke Lin no longer avoided Queen Midella's gaze, and said solemnly.

"What do you understand?" A hint of surprise flashed in Queen Midella's eyes.

"I see why I should trust you."

"why?"

Colin gently pushed away Queen Midella's hand, stepped back slightly, and said respectfully:

"Because, you are Vera's biological mother!"
